Hit The Lights are planning on releasing their next full length in the summer of 2010.

All Time Low are working on a CD/DVD of their MTV Unplugged performance to be released mid January.

There’s allot going on in the industry today with all the highly anticipated albums waiting for release. Here is a list of a few albums you just might want to pick up:

DECEMBER 1

Juvenile Cocky And Confident

R. Kelly Untitled

Alicia Keys The Element Of Freedom

DECEMBER 8

The Game The R.E.D. Album

Snopp Dogg Malice N Wonderland

The brand spanking new Animal Collective EP, Fall Be Kind has been anticipated for some time now, ever since the 11-minute long epic live version of “Bleeding” spread across the internet. The EP celebrates the “darker” side of AC as bandmate/super genius Avey Tare elaborated, and drops this December thanks to Domino.

Tracklist:

1. Graze
2. What Would I Want Sky?
3. Bleeding
4. On a Highway
5. I Think I Can

It’s delicious.

NOFX’s new EP ‘Cokie The Clown’ can streamed on their myspace here.

You can grab a preview of the new We The Kings album ‘Smile Kid’ over on Amazon here.

Preview Nocturnal Me’s new self-titled EP right here.

The Clipse have been popping up all over the blogosphere  lately with leaks from their soon to be released Til the Casket Drops. Previews suggest it will hold it’s own against 2006’s Hell Hath No Fury, which was in one word: BangMAZING. Tracks like “Door Man” and “Popular Demand (Popeye’s)” are promising, especially the latter. Get your copy of the Virginia duo’s third album when it hits stores December 8th. If you can’t wait till then, grab The Road Til the Casket Drops Mixtape and satisfy your craving.

Money stack to the ceiling just as quick as it dispense

Who knew that those commas could make you lose your common sense?

Clipse ft. Cam’ron – Popular Demand (Popeye’s)

Yes, my aggressive stab at New Moon mania is INTENDED. I’ll admit I can enjoy marketable trash/pop culture/played-out vamp stories as much as the next sap, but when the casualties of hysteria reach this level, I’ve got to interject a WTF.

Hold on to your sanity as I illustrate this case of evolutionary atavism. Now the much anticipated Twilight sequel releases this Friday, but already incidents of stupidity are surfacing. One tweeny-bopper attending the LA movie premiere earlier this week suffered “severe trauma” after getting into a fight with another psycho girl over… wait for it…. the last New Moon poster. Not an autograph, not a celebrity snapshot, or even a movie ticket, but a fucking generic, mass-produced (by malnourished Chinese children who are too busy trying to eat to comprehend Twilight madness) movie poster. Jesus. If you planning on seeing the movie be sure to pack some mace. And upgrade to a switchblade if you’re hitting a mall theater or anywhere in middle America.

That was a long-winded explanation, but I have to make it clear that Robert Pattinson is never a nightly focus. My dreams are entirely age appropriate. And although I may not fantasize like a 16 year old, I DO love the new Beach House album, Teen Dream. The band has reemerged after their critically acclaimed 2008 Devotion, an album that made my own top ten with it’s haunting dream pop and eerie simplicity. Beach House fans are in for a treat with the new LP, which was recorded and produced entirely in an old, converted church in NY, with the help of esteemed/veteran engineer Chris Coady (TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). The album drops on January 26th, and like Animal Collective’s epic Merriweather Post Pavilion in 2009, is sure to set a high standard for all 2010 releases.

Beach House is currently blowing America’s minds on tour with Grizzly Bear.
